Question

12 is 3/4 of what number

Answer 1

Answer:

Step by step: you need to divide the top and multiple by the bottom. 12 divided by 3 is 4, and 4 times 4 is 16

Answer 2

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to solve for this is $\frac{is}{of}=\frac{percent}{100}$

Here the 12 is our "is", the "of" is the $\frac{3}{4}$ , and the "percent" is what we are solving for so we can replace it for "x"

So now replacing our values we have $\frac{12}{\frac{3}{4} } =\frac{x}{100}$

Cross multiplying we get $(12)(100) = (x)(\frac{3}{4} )$

Which then simplifies to

Then multiplying both sides by 4 to get rid of the fraction we get 4800% = 3x

The we need to divide by 3 and we get 1600% = x

Now this is in a percentage, so we need to divide 1600 by 100 to turn it into a whole number which comes out to x = 16
